What is meat week? I am not totally sure to be honest. I have lived here a decade and never heard of it- but that's because this is the inaugural year. It does exist in a handful of other cities, including Baltimore, and some since 2006. This appears to be almost like an organized pub crawl, but instead of brew it's barbecue. The organizers have chosen some local favorites as well as some newcomers and tried to choose ones that are easily accessible. From Alexandria to Rockville, the group is hitting up these bbq joints and chowing down. It all starts Sunday 1/31 at Urban Bar-B-Que in Rockville, 7 p.m. For the full schedule, click here.

For all of my vegetarian friends, here is a great list of DC area vegetarian restaurants (or restaurants with plenty of vegetarian options) if you wish to retaliate.

On a related note, If you are a city dweller with a small balcony and still want to grill your own bbq, check out this flower pot balcony grill from Henrik-Drecker! It's just about one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
